Show HN: a javascript engine written in C3 with native TS supporthttps://github.com/ricardobeat/boomkatHi HN! For the past three months I’ve been working on boomkat, a fully ES compatible, strict-only engine. It was written from scratch using the C3 language, with Duktape and QuickJS as reference engines.The engine passes 100% of test262 (subset, excluding legacy features, sloppy mode and proposal stage features), 10x faster than Duktape, matching QuickJS in performance, and can natively run TypeScript files including module support. Supports all modern JS features.It was built with a mix of several open-weight models and harnesses, with Claude Code as reviewer. I estimate 300+ hours of work, plus agents running nearly 24/7 for 12 weeks. 2000+ commits, all read (but not fully reviewed) by me. About €300 spent in total.As the README warns, this is not production-ready code, but I think it's at a state worth sharing. Surprisingly test262 still leaves a lot of surface uncovered, there are still small issues here and there but it runs a lot of real world code successfully (e.g. Zod).Would l

Show HN: BRep Geometric CAD Kernel and Parametric Code CADhttps://github.com/yuechen-li-dev/Aetheris/I'm pretty excited to show off something I've been working on for the past few months. A free, open-source geometric kernel that allows humans/LLMs to write code (in this case, a DSL called Firmament) and generate 3D models of CAD parts, to finally provide an alternative to OpenCascade.To get some questions out of the way. - Full STEP import/export support for AP242, AP203 and AP214 are still experimental at the time, but everything produced by Aetheris should open in any CAD app with STEP support. - Support for single edge/planar fillets/chamfers right now, should be more than sufficient for most CNC/3D printing use cases. - Fillets: https://github.com/yuechen-li-dev/Aetheris/blob/master/testd... - Chamfers: https://github.com/yuechen-li-dev/Aetheris/blob/master/testd... - Supports dimensional/GD&T annotation via STEP 242's semantic PMI. - Kernel is written entirely in C#, with bindings for Go, Rust, Python, and TypeScript available.If you just want to vibe-CAD, clone the repo, run it

Enshitification Comes for Cursorhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49362593Sometimes I feel like the last person on HN that's still using Cursor for development work. But if anyone is curious - its getting a lot shittier, quickly.The entire application seems to exist to steer you towards using Grok and whatever new product Cursor's team has pumped out this week. You're constantly prompted to switch to using a Cloud agent, including the UI seemingly changing as you're working which caused me to accidentally select a cloud agent instead of my local system a few times. There are daily pop-ups in the app to check out this and that new thing, these are at least pretty easy to close and ignore. This morning Cursor decided to select a new Grok model by default without prompting, which I didn't notice until it had spent 10 minutes burning tokens on a simple bug investigation that Opus resolved in 30 seconds.I finally bit the bullet and setup Pi with Open Router the other day. I still prefer the UI of Cursor but this is like death by a thousand cuts.
